>>No one has made a
determination as to whether Elian's best
interests would be served by his return to Cuba
with his father or by remaining in the United
States."<<

Dershowitz is dead wrong. Elian's father has made that determination--parents decide these things for children. It is not the place of either the U.S. government to do this, or a court-appointed U.S. lawyer. How can Dershowitz regard the boy's father as "no one."

I also would hesitate to quote a moral authority such as Dershowitz, who bears partial responsibility for the acquittal of double-murderer O.J. Simpson.
